Update #4: Our first exclusive game
We'd like to introduce you to Robert Bowling, president of the game developer Robotoki, and an early backer of our Kickstarter. You might recognize Robert from his work with the Call of Duty franchise.
Earlier today, from his Twitter account (@fourzerotwo), Robert hinted that he had some news.
Well here it is: OUYA gamers will get FIRST access to the ravaged world of his post-zombie-apocalyptic game, Human Element.
Robotoki is the first studio to commit to building a game exclusively for OUYA: an episodic prequel that will set the stage for his eventual release of Human Element in 2015.
Welcome to OUYA, Robert!
Check out Robert's exclusive OUYA - Human Element video and photo below!
Creator OuyaForum.com on August 2, 2012
Yeah, this is a really good looking game. Looks like something you would find on PS3 or Xbox360!
Creator Daniel Kursave on August 1, 2012
what is the normal edition made of?
Creator Bujar Rrafshi on July 26, 2012
wow the graphics is as good as xbox maybe even better
Creator Joshua Ferguson on July 25, 2012
Im so stoked when I read about human element in game informer how they are making it cross with tablets and phones too that idea is sick.
Creator LC Roman on July 25, 2012
Shadowgun is a $8 gears of war, if humanelement is a $8 The Last of Us, then i will happly buy it
Creator Corey Machado on July 24, 2012
looks like The Last of Us
Creator Andrey Ivanov on July 24, 2012
@Jeremy LaBove
Actually this kind of plot (zombie apocalypse and a lone man and girl child survive together among the zombies) isn't something original. I mean look at "The Walking Dead" (the game) - it's starting in that same manner...
Creator Jeremy LaBove on July 23, 2012
zombie apocalypse? a lone man and girl child survive together among the zombies? hate to break it to you, but Naughty Dog is already making this game. they're calling it "The Last of Us". i mean, this looks sweet. i'm really happy to hear it, but still... there's no way you didn't know about that other game already, right?
Creator Shea on July 23, 2012
I bet this is what most AAA companies will do for OUYA... I've seen EA already has a few Android games, but it is good none the less. Might not get the big titles, but we will get some special content =)
Creator Scolaro on July 22, 2012
Human Element looks stunning! Now I'm even more excited about the new console.
Creator Steve G. on July 21, 2012
This is amazing news! :D
Creator Sal "Lasareath" Cameli on July 21, 2012
2015? Hire 3X more programers and get it done in 2012!
Creator Lauren Lobrovich on July 21, 2012
Human Element looks like Last of Us but better.
Creator Joshua Baker on July 21, 2012
People that are still calling this a scam should now shut up.
Official, verified people are supporting this, and the good people are hired on to the project. Things look solid.
Creator David Plante on July 21, 2012
Good job. I hope there will be more company to make their "coming out" and embrace the Ouya!
Creator James on July 21, 2012
Extremely looking forward to this game and also to this consol. Come on OUYA!!! :)
Creator Chris on July 21, 2012
So stoked, I'm gonna play me some OUYA exclusives like Metal Gear Solid.
Creator Luis Molina III on July 20, 2012
Congrats and great news to all. Makes one wonder on the work being done with Nvidia and the possible graphics chip that would be implemented.
Creator Mark Nowotarski on July 20, 2012
I see Ouya is your first backed project. Can I ask how you heard about it?
Creator Nick Manns on July 20, 2012
Deffinatly wouldn't hurt Mark
Creator Mark Nowotarski on July 20, 2012
Does it make sense to have a Kickstarter campaign for Human Element? Would that speed up development?
Creator Darryl Benson on July 20, 2012
@David May
Sorry bud. The pic is tiny ;). You just look mature, haha. Didn't mean to insult you. It isn't a scam, and you'll get it before March I'm sure. These guys' reputations are too big to not even get this off the ground.
Can't wait for mine as well!
Creator David May on July 20, 2012
@Darryl Benson
Dang! I'm a few years past thirty. I'm not really believing this is a scam but I do want this to succeed so badly and don't want march release to slip into christmas 2013 into sometime in 2014, etc etc.
The DIY console makes me itch to get my commodore systems back out. I do love the idea.
Creator Kilgary on July 20, 2012
Since the game proper launches in 2015, it seems highly improbable that this would be seen on Ouya in 2013. With so little lead time, I am assuming the Ouya team is hitting up Android and iOS developers that were already planning on launching mobile titles at that time and asking them to port their upcoming titles over to Ouya for launch. Would love to see something using the Unreal 3 engine and the Ouya controls (rather than point and click navigation like Infinity Blade and Dark Meadow) at launch. Heck, I'd love to see the older top titles from Rovio, Zynga, and Gameloft ported to Ouya controls at launch. Nova 3 would be exciting to play with twin sticks!
Creator Daniel on July 20, 2012
I just backed this and then i saw this update. Its a sign that i made the right choice! Im so excited for Ouya and for Human Element!
Creator David Simpson on July 20, 2012
@Darryl Benson
BRAVO! This is how I've been feeling all week! I'm glad someone feels the same!
Creator Darryl Benson on July 20, 2012
@David May
If you are really scared, there's not much to tell you. If you honestly think this is a scam, with the team behind this, then wow...
I'm assuming your nearly 40 years old? At this point you should know the press loves to make negative articles because it sells. This won't be a scam. 5 million is nothing once you factor in the cost of the systems. This isn't two kids in a basement. These are known professionals in the industry. If you honestly believe the few tech sites out there trying to make you scared of the boogie man, just remember monsters aren't real.
Creator MARC HOFRICHTER on July 20, 2012
you spent $225?
Creator David May on July 20, 2012
All this press yesterday from "experts" doubting the time frame and even using the word "scam" are making me nervous about my $225
Creator Patrick Smith on July 20, 2012
Well like they said before, there will be a free to play component, which could be just as much as a demo, and then they could charge an actual price to play the whole thing. I'm completely fine with that, and I think a lot of gamers will be too. The problem with mobile platforms (IMO) is that a lot of the people using them aren't really gamers, they just expect free crap and if there's ads, they get mad. This will be much more postured towards gaming, so I don't think we'll see as much of that crowd. But then again I could be wrong, I just hope I'm not.
Creator Matt Mower on July 20, 2012
Kofex, "advertisement" is less of a worry than "mistery".
Creator Kelvin Tam on July 20, 2012
Can't wait
Creator Kofex on July 20, 2012
when I said "advertisment" i meant ADS, excuse me for my bad english...
Creator Kofex on July 20, 2012
A real mistery is "how advertisment will work?" is an interesting point since many app/games on Android are free because they get some money from them... but we are dealing with a joystick not a touch screen... a real mistery....
Creator Jeremy Badess on July 20, 2012
I think he said in the video... He donated $10k.
Creator Xaviz on July 20, 2012
yay, we get basically an advertisement for a game that is going to be released in 2015. I wonder how much they had to pay for that gem.
Creator Doktor Jones on July 20, 2012
@Manuel Ruf: The OUYA ecosystem is going to be "free to play", meaning every game has to have some free content -- whether that be a demo, or the entire game. Also, Android-based games on the whole tend to be vastly cheaper than 360/PS3 titles because the development teams are usually much smaller and the development cycle is usually shorter. So even if a game's F2P offering is only a demo, the full version will likely cost less than $30 (and most games will probably weigh in at/under $10).
Creator Kofex on July 20, 2012
It's risky for developer since he will launch an episode of a game that should be ready for 2015 so... people at Robotoki will have to hurry to release a stable version of it and if customers doesn't like it then they will be in much troubles, so it's much riskier than you think.
In other hand it's just the first announcement of an exclusive game for Ouya, we will hear of much more titles, I'm sure.
Keep up the good work!
But... Ouya team, pleaseeeeee tell me how to get a second console for development!!!! is the 3rd time I ask it!! THANKS!
Creator Jonas on July 20, 2012
It sounds like a serious product to me.
Also on Ouya it has to be "free to play", so I can imagine the first episode will be free and you can pay for additional episodes if you enjoyed it.
Creator Manuel Ruf on July 20, 2012
@Leonid Kalinichenko, episodic can work great (As you can see at "The Walking Dead").
Its true that its less risky but that doesnt have to be bad for us consumers.
I only hope in general that the prices will be much lower then on normal consoles like the xbox360/ps3.
Cause im not willed to pay that much money for a Game !
Thats why i normaly play via Computer. But OUYA would be an option for Couche evenings!
Creator Leonid Kalinichenko on July 20, 2012
It does not looks like a serious product. More like a marketing of both companies. Episodic prequel... Are you serious? It's like a Final Fantasy XIII gallery for iOS - it was an exclusive content but never a serious product. You know what I mean.
Also episodic is always a less risky for developers and more expensive for costumers.

I am a new homeowner and know literally almost nothing about home improvement. I would like to learn basic concepts by doing things one at a time...but I can't just jump in and do most things. Are there any good resources (websites/books) that provide project ideas or tutorials that are organized from extremely basic to very advanced? I could use this to start with things extremely basic and learn skills and get ideas as I go.
Welcome! You will certainly find lots of specific questions and answers on this site but not as many general how-tos; it is after-all a Q&A site.
Firstly, you need some tools! There is a great thread on this site about the tools everyone should own, I suggest you give it a read!
The internet is a great resource and you will find answers to almost any problem or project you have. If you are looking for some more general knowledge, I'd recommend taking a look at the books section of your local hardware store. They usually have some good beginner books on plumbing, electrical, painting and other common around-the-house work. This particular book rated well on Amazon in the "how to do everything" category. Certainly high up on the list of common tasks for home owners are basic electrical and plumbing: Changing light fixtures, switches, dimmers, thermostats, unplugging drains and toilets, replacing faucets and/or components. Typically, the easier projects revolve around replacing existing components , whereas more complex projects involve new installs or big modifications.
Also take a look at this sites blog as it has some good walk-throughs.
If I can give you any advice it is that you can do anything you put your mind and hands to - don't be afraid! Read-up and give it a try! But also know when you are in over your head and you should bring in a pro. Stay away from serious electrical work, and never try anything gas-related on your own.
Good luck and have fun!
Pick up a copy of New Complete Do-It-Yourself Manual from Reader Digest.
This is an awesome book, and a great resource when you're just starting out in home repair.
Well, I'm not sure how your inspection report went, but mine was a "great" list of home improvement ideas!
But really, you need to figure out what your house is lacking, make a list, figure out the complexity of each job, then go from there.
Your home will give you ideas on what projects that should be done, because you will see things that need "improving". Start small and work your way up to larger projects.
Some good starter projects:
A small project would be one you could complete in a day or less and should not require any specialized skill set other than following instructions and using some basic tools.
Bigger projects require planning, more resources, a more comprehensive toolset, and will take longer than a day to complete. It also might require professional help (specialized trade) as well and knowledge of building codes.
So plan and choose wisely before tackling any big projects.
I would focus on a particular skill or system at a time, plumbing, electrical, painting etc. Once you get bored of one move on to another, but this allows you to feel like you're making progress in a lot of different areas.
For each project, Google away. I've also found it useful to have some books handy for electrical, plumbing, etc.

No ballot measure on budget
The Columbus Dispatch - October 09, 2013 5:10 PM
CLEVELAND -- There was a little news out of the Ed FitzGerald-Martin O'Malley public appearance today: FitzGerald probably won't try to repeal portions of the state budget by way of the ballot.
Today's ACLU lawsuit over abortion-related provisions appears to be among the reasons.
"It's not just abortion provisions. To me, it's women's health provisions," said FitzGerald, the likely 2014 Democratic challenger to Gov. John Kasich. "We talked about when those were signed that if I were governor I would've line-item vetoed every single one of them and I still say that. My hope was that there would be some type of real push back against that, whether it's putting it on the ballot, we've had discussions about that, I don't know that we'll end up doing that, or a legal challenge, that seems to now (be) occurring spontaneously."
FitzGerald had threatened to try a long and complicated proces of reversing those provisions by putting them before voters.

- Health Notes
Coenzyme Q10Coenzyme Q10About this Nutrient
- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.

Just a small town girl
Living in a lonely world
She took the midnight train going anywhere
Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train going anywhere
A singer in a smoky room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
Puck and Santana:
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on
Rachel and Artie:
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows
Searching in the night
Living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the night
Workin' hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Kurt and Finn:
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win
Santana and Puck:
Some will lose
Some are born to sing the Blues
Mercedes and Artie:
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows
Searching in the night
Living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the night
Don't stop!
Rachel and Finn with New Directions:
Don't stop believin'
Rachel and Finn:
Hold on to that feelin'
Rachel and Finn with New Directions:
People (Mercedes: Yeah!)
Don't stop believin'
Rachel and Finn:
Hold on to that feeling (Mercedes: Yeah!)
Rachel and Finn with New Directions:
Rachel, Mercedes, and Finn with New Directions:
Don't stop!

The Emergency Situations Ministry said two of its planes will fly to Beirut on Tuesday to carry more than 100 Russians from Syria.
Monday's announcement appears to reflect Moscow's increasing doubts about Assad's ability to cling to power and growing concerns about the safety of its citizens.
Russia's Foreign Ministry has said that it has contingency plans in place to evacuate thousands of Russians from Syria.
Russia has been the main ally of Assad since the start of the conflict, using its veto power at the United Nations Security Council to shield the Syrian strongman from sanctions.

Privacy Continues Dying With Apple "Traitorware" & Ninth Circuit Decision
On September 16, 2010 By Jordan Teague January 26, 2014
Zuckerberg may have been onto something earlier this year when he declared that privacy is dead. Although digital privacy expectations may not be entirely dead, the California courtroom and corporate worlds have both done their part this month to bring privacy to extinction.
Apple is thinking about patenting spyware that would [...]Continue Reading →

Do you find people exciting? Being a doctor and studying medicine involves people to a great extent.
Have you ever wondered:
- How healthy human beings work?
- Which mechanisms make us ill?
- Why and how treatment works?
- How to communicate with sick people?
In order to become a doctor, you need to know the body down to the smallest cell. You have to develop the ability to update yourself continuously within a rapidly developing knowledge field. Medical research results in new and exciting treatment methods, and we constantly gain new knowledge about disease processes.
The medical study in Trondheim is of 6 years duration and leads to an MB degree. To obtain authorization as a doctor you will have to work an additional 18 months as a house officer. Then you may specialize for instance as a surgeon.
Research and Technology
NTNU emphasizes research and technology, and the medical study at NTNU offers a separate research programme within medical technology. There is separate admission to the research programme, and students may apply after two years on the medical programme. The research programme also leads to the medical profession, but with additional research qualifications.
Learning Objectives
Over 6 years, the medical study educates the students to a level of qualification which enables them to function as house officers at hospitals. This type of medical qualification is comprehensive and covers knowledge and skills as well as attitudes. It is the Faculty's responsibility to design a programme that will take the students to this goal during the stipulated period of study. A necessary part of the process is to let the students know how they are doing from time to time in relation to the drawn path and whether they are able to follow the expected ascent in qualifications towards the goal. This is the purpose of the exams, while the learning objectives aim to guide the students in advance as to what they are expected to know for the exam.
The less formalized the teaching and the more freedom the students have to shape their own studies, the greater the need for explicitly expressed learning objectives, where the students may read about the requirements they are expected to meet at different stages of their programme. For this reason, learning objectives for all semesters are included in the study handbook, following the descriptions of the individual semesters.

By getting only custom dress shirts for men, men possess the chance to show their worry for detail, regardless of the material utilised within the manufacturing procedure. When you desire to mask the unwanted fat out of your waist or highlight a perfect physique situation, this item will absolutely come in handy. There is a particular number of shirts that every elegant man ought to possess in his wardrobe, every created out of a various color, structure and style. Possessing various diverse dress shirts can help you to get a brand new image, even if you put on the identical suit. You'll find many different distinct sources from exactly where it is possible to obtain a custom dress shirt, as well as the world wide web is just among them.
Going to the workshop of a certain designer is practically the first issue that you simply need to do if you need to obtain custom dress shirts. There are various elements that need to be clarified prior to the made can start working on your dress shirts: like your body`s measurements, height and weight, what type of collar to use inside the manufacturing process, the cuff sort and any extra aspects that may well influence the final outcome of his work.
Not all men comprehend and appreciate the elegance that can be obtained by wearing custom made garments. In an effort to get an idea about what it really is all about, you'll be able to start off having a basic custom dress shirt. The process of generating great custom dress shirts consists on three main aspects: setup, testing and execution. Nevertheless, without having clarifying all the required aspects that surround this procedure, customers might be disappointed once they obtain their things. Be sure you talk together with your designer and offer him each of the details that he must know each and every time you wish to buy a custom dress shirt.
Anytime you wear a shirt which was specially created to fir your body, you'll feel considerably far better and much more comfy in comparison to what you experience when testing out a usual ready to put on shirt from your neighborhood shop. You will need to take time and analyze all feasible choices when you desire to buy new garments. In this hectic society, folks don't have much time to strategy their buying sessions, so they finish up acquiring products that do not satisfy their demands entirely. A lot of folks steer clear of acquiring custom dress shirts because the delivery time is greater compared to the immediate transactions.
This could be right, but persistence could bring with it numerous positive aspects. To begin with, should you be a man that cares for details, you understand how important it really is to possess a shirt that can fit your body completely. You'll be capable of obtain the model that you simply have imagined, with no worrying in regards to the thickness of the cuff or the size of the sleeves. It is possible to also select the fabric that you just like very best. In order to acquire the best custom dress shirts, you might need to have a look at your existing wardrobe and offer some examples for your developer.
Created out of cotton, poplin, twill or linen, the custom dress shirts are virtually symbolic of men`s concern for fine detail. It truly is the critical garment that can assist us to hide imperfections or to highlight a staunch midsection or perhaps an impacting bust. Considering the colour, texture and model, an sophisticated man should possess among 80 and 100 dress shirts in his wardrobe. You can claim that if you have ten distinct shirts and only one suit within your wardrobe, it really is like having ten distinct suits. For this reason, you have to do a little investigation on the net and order your 1st custom dress shirt.
The initial step that the developer would take as a way to begin creating your custom dress shirts consists on getting a meeting at the workshop. After you meet using the designer, he will go through the rest of the actions within a really enjoyable environment: taking measures, establishing the body type (classic or slim fit), establishing the kind of collar that you just wish to use (classic, Italian, cufflinks and so on) and the cuff type (straightforward, closing to 1-2 buttons, round, straight, double and so forth), as well as other details that could be essential to you and may allow the developer to make the custom dress shirt which you imagine.
Wearing a custom dress can be a exercise that has to be appropriately understood and taught. As a result, a custom dress shirt might be a fantastic introduction within this specific category of clothing. Accurate custom dress shirts need time for setup, testing and execution. As well usually clients are rushing into a certain store and order a custom dress shirt without taking count of good quality, measurements and all the connected features. Anytime you choose to purchase such an item, you need to reserve at the least a single hour in an effort to total each of the necessary steps proposed by the designer.
You'll discover many variations between wearing a custom dress shirt as well as a 'ready to wear' shirt, given that you will feel better and more comfortable in each of the clothing that were developed in your measurements. Even ordering your clothes is definitely an act that ought to be taught. We reside in a world practically exclusively modeled on the principle of common garments and an quick transaction. The act of receiving a good garment after a number of weeks of waiting calls for a dose of patience totally different from what you anticipate whenever you go to a typical shop.
Nonetheless, the benefits are clear. Every single detail of the custom dress shirts will likely be completed in line with your wishes, from the material employed in the manufacturing approach towards the thickness in the cuff. A shirt produced precisely following your measurements will match you flawless and much more than that, it's going to appear exactly like it was meant. In relation to picking the best fabric, the diversity in samples should not scare you. Consider what you like concerning the shirts that you already have within your wardrobe and what you would like from those that you simply will order inside the near future.

District examines school grounds security
February 18, 2013
COLUMBIANA — The city school district and police department are working together to make sure students and teachers are safe on the school grounds each day, Superintendent Don Mook said Tuesda....
SAN JOSE (KPIX 5) – Law enforcement agencies have begun adopting a new policy on so-called "active shooters," encouraging civilians to take safety into their own hands and take down gunmen who threaten them at work or school.
This approach is gaining momentum in the wake of tragic incidents in Newtown, Connecticut and the Oikos University shooting in Oakland.
At San Jose Evergreen Community College, police have trained teachers, staff and students to follow specific guidelines during this kind of emergency.

Nothing guarantees anything will work. I guarantee you what won't, locked doors. Lanza shot out windows and walked right on through. Why would anyone not bring a gun to a gun fight if they could? You don't pay armed guards, you arm school employees. Make the training mandatory to get the job and the taxpayer doesn't have to pay a dime. It's not as if its expensive to be taught how to properly operate, store and carry a firearm. If the principal at Sandy Hook had a gun instead of a "heroic lunge" we might be having a different conversation right now.

And what gurrantees this will work !

The man who led the "Can the Ban" movement in New Braunfels is now a wanted man in Guadalupe County.
A grand jury indicted Mark McGonical on aggravated perjury. According to District Attorney Heather McMinn, the charge doesn't have anything to do with the "Can the Ban" movement.
McMinn said it's related to a name change application and accusations that McGonical did not answer a question on the form honestly—even though he said he did.
A warrant was issued for McGonical's arrest but he was not in police custody Monday evening.

I believe Elvis entered the hall of fame during it's first round of inductions.Lennon was not before him.
I often come across articles about old songs of Elvis entering the UK chart and other countries in this forum. My perception maybe incorrect but it seems Elvis is more appreciated by people abroad than his fellow countrymen. I was also wondering why John Lennon entered the "The hall of fame" in the US far ahead of Elvis an event I found unusual.

I have always felt he was appreciated more around the world than here in his home country. Perhaps because hes in "USAs family" so to speak. When you are in the family what you do is sometimes taken for granted and under appreciated.
In the USA Elvis is very much still appreciated and loved by many, many fans, and even non-fans like him and smile when something is said about him. I don't know about the music charts.
I dream a world where man no other man
will scorn. Where LOVE will bless the earth
and peace its paths adorn...
I could never get any of these kids to even listen to one song by him. When ALLC came out a couple of my younger daughters friends said they liked it and one even bought the CD single but that was as close as I ever saw any of them get to being a fan. I'm sure many people in USA love Elvis but the fervor and respect by young people seems to be stronger over seas IMO
KPM and Jak thanks for the info regarding the induction of Elvis to the hall of fame. I am not from the US but based on my personal observation I agree very much with what KPM stated. It is really ironic why the Beatles from UK are more recognized in the US while Elvis consistently makes it good abroad. It is just a far cry from what it should be that the Americans must patronized first their own for they are famous for being patriotic. Could this be the product of all those negative media things that over shadowed the good and better part of Elvis? To think that Elvis is one of the most influential and important figure of the 20th century makes me feel bad how he is appreciated in general by the American people. You don't have to be an avid fan of him to recognize what he did for the American culture and why he is still very much around.
Tommy please check the music charts of UK and other European countries to verify what I am saying. A lot of these in being posted in this forum.

This articule answer my question and doubts thrugh all this years---it seems to me that Elvis is more aprecieted in the UK.Is ridiculous that fans,like me find nothing about Elvis.I visit Nasville about two months ago and I was abled to find a store"NOT ON ELVIS ONLY"just a souvenir store where I found a few items.I ask around and I was told that the place to find Elvis memorabilia was Memphis.Once in awhile you find a cd in places like wall-mart.It makes me madElvis is an icon.He changed the history of music and you find music from anyone but Elvis.When I ask if they have Elvis'latets Cd they look at me wierd.I have a bumper sticker on my car and I got into an argument with a guy because he told me that the only thing Elvis did was do drugs.S.O.BThis is america and Elvis is part of our history wheter they like it or not.But unfurtunally alot of people in this country feel that way.Elvis to them is just a fat midle age guy that did drugs and die because of them.
I am amazed by all the stuff the UK has to offer from our idol.I posted two photos of an Elvis shop that I swear to God I would go crazy bying stuff there!Do we have that here?NOOOOOOOOOOO!!The UK fans see Elvis--the man---the legend--the king and the drug theme is forgiving--after all--he was human.---I better stop because I am all fired up--also money--money.

Girlhappy19 your sentiment was well spelled. I am bound to believe the American media successfully destroyed Elvis image to the maximum hence the effect is so prominent and devastating. It is just unfortunate that you have to learn more about him beyond the issue of drugs to be able to appreciate the guy and definitely non-Elvis fans will never bother find out. This proves once and for all that media can make or break anyone particularly a person of Elvis status. Now it is up to us Elvis fans to rally behind him to keep his legacy alive. By the way for your info you posted a related thread in this forum too. Thank you

I thought that Elvis was part of the US culture? Maybe you got this impression because the only ones who talk about Elvis in the UK are fans...I mean, for exemple, when you compare US and UK movies, which of them got the more Elvis references?
I don't know if America has a culture. May sound cruel, but McDonalds and such..? Culture is about the way you live - how you eat, drink, sleep, talk, behave..
After Elvis there wasn't so much to enjoy anymore - except for the artists who have survived him, such as Roy Orbison or Johnny Cash.
If you think country music is part of American culture (for example) I must admit that it's more like European folk music. It still has it's roots in Europe, world leader USA or not..
If Elvis is slowly being forgotten in the US, it means that the nation needs to re-discover it's roots and tradition. New is not always better.

But thats America, a huge country in constant change always in motion.
I'm not convinced and I don't think I ever will be. Not to offend people, but you are not the masters of the world culturally. You just have different people living under the rule of a government. It's still Indian land, if you ask me.
It's not that easy to define being a Rhode Island-inhabitant or a Tennessee-inhabitant. What are those? In Europe every region has it's dialect, flag and certain customs. It's difficult to discard the identity of your region, how can you ever make people from different continents mix? Globalization is pure evil. People just form ghetto's or settlements.
I don't like this McDonald's and junk being thrown at me. That's a reason to dislike it and on top of that the military is always messing around in other countries, manipulating others. In some places of the world they still see it as the Great Satan, not for nothing. A paper tiger.
But I do like Elvis and yes, I think his legacy is timeless. My loyalty to Elvis is not at all impaired by the way I look at America.

Most Americans arer proud of ours as well. You see problems in our diversity and -we see strength in it. You see only the negatives it seems-I'm sorry you see us that way. Basic Americans like me are friendly and want nothing more than friendship with whoever wants it.
I am part Irish, Scottish, and Cherokee indian and proud of it- but I am an American. All countries including European have their strong points and weak points-things to be proud of in your culture and history and things which are better forgotten. We are the same.
My state of Illinois has its own flag, midwesterners have our own dialect and speech patterns and our regions is called the bread belt-we produce huge amounts of wheat and corn. We ship it all over the world and many millions of tons of grain are given by our country to others in times of need and disaster. But we are not perfect and I see many of the same flaws that you do. By the same token-Take a look at European history and it also has its share of hypocrisy, greed, and mistakes.
But I would not underestimate what American can do when it sets its mind to it. But this is not on topic at all. I hope you will understand I am an American who wishes you no ill will and that comes from my heart.
PS- I would never try to change how you feel-only tell you how I do about the same subject.
I think he is appreciated in the U.S. very much so. I think he is loved the world over and even those who aren't fans, give him credit for the changing the music field, etc...
Another point I'd like to make in defense of the US is that it is a very large country and yes a melting pot so all other countries in the world are represented here. If you were to put in a vote as to who is an Elvis fan it would be a vastly different outcome from smaller countries per capita. Does that make sense to anyone?
I very seldom run across anyone here who puts down Elvis and I've lived in five different states.
Please stay on subject here and not start talking about countries.
Thank you.
I dream a world where man no other man
will scorn. Where LOVE will bless the earth
and peace its paths adorn...

Memphis >Food & Dining > Sekisui Pacific Rim
4724 Poplar Ave, Memphis, TN | Directions 3811735.115314 -89.904624
Sat: 5pm-1am, Sun: 5pm-9:30pm, Mon-Thu: 11:30am-1pm, 5pm-12am, Fri: 11:30am-1pm, 5pm-1am
Neighborhoods: East Memphis/Colonial/Yorkshire
Awful experience – We were visiting Memphis and a friend recommended it. Our appetizer tasted good. However, when we got our sushi, two of our rolls tasted bad. One roll had a bad plastic taste and the other roll did not taste fresh. It seemed to be spoiled. According to the manager, they beat their tuna before rolling it. If I wanted raw tuna, I should have told the waiter. I never was given an option by the waiter and had no clue there was that option. When we told the waiter that the Sushi did not taste right and would like to order something in its place he said he'd check to see if the restaurant would replace it. Otherwise, we would have to pay for another entree. When the manager finally showed up, she was very rude and defensive. She defended the preparation and completely ignored our concerns. She did agree to credit us for the rolls, but she continued to defend the Sushi. We would not recommend this place to anyone. I've never been to a restaurant where the wait staff and manager defend the food when a patron does not like it or thinks it is spoiled. They need to learn some customer service skills. It was awful! I will never go here again.
Editorial Review – Sushi, Japanese cuisine, and fusion dishes, plus sake, specialty cocktails and creative desserts like tempura cheesecake.
Good for Memphis – As many reviews state on Citysearch, because Memphis has few choices to offer, a good number of average restaurants receive high marks. Sekisui deserves a good but not great mark.
My wife and I love sushi and were regulars when living in San Fran, Portland and Boston. I can't put my finger on why my lunch experience on Poplar didn't register higher. However after laying down $28 I didn't walk away with thinking I had just had a $28 experience. In fact, I felt a bit swindled. No beer, no sake - just water and sushi.
And maybe most importantly, I didn't go home telling my wife, "We HAVE to go there for dinner sometime."
Again, you won't find better sushi in Memphis but Sekisui would be #72 on the list in any other town.
Best we've found in Memphis – We're used to sushi restaurants in California, where you have a lot more to choose from. It's not the best we've ever had, but it's definitely the best in Memphis. Nice ambiance. Fresh fish. And enough cooked items to not scare of your friends who can't deal with raw fish. The service was good and we had a very pleasant time.
World Class – The service and the atmosphere are reason enough to go. The food will keep you coming back. If you are lucky, ask for Richard. He is the best server I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Sushi, steak, seafood, and fun all rolled into one excellent package. The techno music playing in the background and the mood lighting make it a great place to take a date or a group of friends. A great place to meet up before going clubbing on weekends. Sekisui Pacific Rim is a MUST!!! See you there.
too cool for memphis – We ate here on a Saturday. They had live DJs playing stylish acid jazz type music with a heavy beat. The food is spectacular. The atmosphere is like nothing else in Memphis; like what you find in trendy New York restaurants. Very funky, sit on the floor in bean bags or on pillows or at the sushi bar. Colorful lighting, abstract art, and a wall of water create a very surreal atmosphere. Go on a night when thet have the DJs playing. Awesome experience.

Raising boys is just as tough as raising girls
Parents of girls; be afraid, very afraid. Be worried, because your daughters are "in trouble". So much that we need a "call to arms" and "a movement to end the trashing of girlhood".
Certainly that seems to be the message in the PR for Raising Girls, the latest from parenting guru Steve Biddulph.
A decade back, when Biddulph released Raising Boys, it was our little sons under siege by an education system - and a society - that didn't get them or their gender-specific needs.
"Today, things have changed. It's girls that are in trouble. . .There has been a sudden and universal deterioration in girls' mental health, starting in primary school and devastating the teen years," says Biddulph.
This is certainly alarming. And I don't doubt that the pressure on kids' self-esteem and mental health has increased during the lifetime of my eldest, a son, 14.
But are girls really the new boys - that is, are they now more difficult to raise into healthy adults? And is there really much merit in suggesting that it is harder than ever before to raise a balanced daughter, and by implication that such a task requires different skills or more concentration than raising happy sons?
I have children of both genders, and while Raising Boys was a key plank in my (and my partner's) understanding of how to be the best parents we could to our boys, I don't like this new idea that girls are suddenly more difficult to bring to a safe maturity, and nor do I believe it.
Biddulph, a psychologist, is right to highlight the contemporary threats posed to our daughter by sexualisation, bullying, dangerous body-image messages and social media.
But any girl-mum or dad not already well aware of these evils would have to have been living under a family-sized rock. And other than social media, I do not think they are new, nor do I believe any of those factors mean I will need to focus more on my daughter's wellbeing than my sons'.
And I don't think yet another cry of "fire!" in the marketing material for yet another parenting book is terribly constructive.
Scary tactics aside, as a boy-mum, I can't see how I need to be any less vigilant about the threat to my sons' developing identity of being made to feel not good-looking enough, not thin enough, or not popular enough by messages in pop culture, advertising and social media.
Take weight anxiety: girls still dominate eating disorder admissions, but increasingly the fat-fail message is hitting both genders.
My sons are just as aware of how uncool it is to be fat, thanks to the saturation anti-obesity message. All the talk of terrible obesity leads them to the following conclusion; "if you're fat, you're a loser".
And the buff body and emotion-free toughness ideal for young men is only reinforced by the prevailing physique and demeanour of all the Hollywood hunks and sports stars, shoved at boys as heroes.
Girls are bombarded with be-dumb-but-sexy-and-submissive pressure, which I hate and work very hard to insulate my sparky nine year-old girl from, but boys must be hot AND sporty (still) to reach the top of the school-yard pecking order and not risk being left on the social bench.
Boy-parents must work just as hard to ensure their young sons realise things other than abs and pecs define success, as girl-parents must to enforce the idea that enhancing your brains, not your boobs will give you the best chance of life success.
And both genders feel the pressure to be precociously sexual. Why should I take the approach that this puts more pressure on my girl than my sons?
Every time I hear about yet another teen boy dying in a car crash or a party fight, or at Schoolies, my blood runs cold. It happens too frequently. I am certainly not convinced there's any less of a need to work diligently to manage risk-taking or potentially self-harmful activities, or mental health in our boys than there is with our girls.
I don't buy the "it's girls who are in (more) trouble" schtick, even if it helps sell books. And I don't like the idea of a competition to see which gender is in more peril.
I can clearly remember my alarm when, with boys aged five and three, I read the just-released Raising Boys.
The thing that hit me hardest was the picture painted of the serious handicap boys face in the education system. The take-out message for me was that the way conventional education is structured in Australia puts boys at a serious disadvantage because they process information differently and have distinct learning styles that are most often not catered for.
This gives girls a strong advantage, which is demonstrated in VCE results.
Anyone who reads my Herald Sun blog, The Perch, will know I am a huge girl-power advocate and am thrilled that so many girls are flying academically and finding their place across the professions.
I am deeply frustrated by the gender pay gap and the woeful work-life balance options - and child care options - currently available to many working women.
But I also seriously doubt that in the last decade the factors that Biddulph outlined so eloquently in Raising Boys have turned around to the point where it's an equal playing field for my boys and daughter in education.
On this ground alone, I do not want to be told that it is more difficult to help my daughter become a well-adjusted and successful adult, or that we should focus on her needs over those of boys. And nor do I think it's useful to be told so.

My Da wasn't the greatest man or role model. When I told him I was gay, he said he'd failed as a father and this was Mam's fault.
Borderer says:
My little girl will get all her "girly" training from her mum, aunty and cousin, but she'll be spending time in the gym working a bag with her daddy. I can't "make" her do a damn thing but then neither will anybody else….
Fiddler says:
I can only agree that the school system is a lot harder on boys than girls. I recall when my youngest (son) was in Kindergarten having the school ring me up because he was "uncontrollable" in that he didn't do what the teacher asked and then became more and more agitated.
After speaking to his teacher for five minutes I utterly sympathised with my son. She would give the kids "suggestions" about "what they might like to do" then badgered the shit out of him for not wanting to do it, yet would never cross the line and tell him what to do. It took me less than a minute to calm him down and he would never refuse to do what he was told, but in the touchy feely atmosphere the Principal told me that studies showed her manner of speaking to kids is far superior to telling a group of five year old kids what to do.
My sons "crime" was having made the mistake of when being offered a choice, made the one he wanted to do and not what the teacher wanted. Oh, and they pretty much banned all physical activites in the playground.
bec says:
I teach boys. I like my job and I like my students. And aside from unqualified hacks who tour schools scaring parents about boys being swept aside (because how else are they going to fund their kitchen renovation?) the truth is if your son is from a middle-income family that supports his progress, he's probably going to do as girls from the same demographic. If parents read (and read with their kids), have a baseline of wealth to allow them to choose a school or co-curricular activity and expect a high standard, boys will do well. There are boys who are suffering educationally for sure: gender compounds with social disadvantage to make things even tougher for poor and marginalised boys than it does for girls. These are ideas that would actually help with raising boys that are confident, competent and happy.
1. Don't make fun or your son for reading. I've dealt with plenty of low/no income families who tell their boys that reading is for poofs and sissies because their idea of masculinity is extreme that it doesn't allow for anything that's passive or intellectual. A result? Kids who have a reading age 3 or more years behind their biological age.
2. Don't make your son do an academic senior pathway if he doesn't want to. The real benefits to his self-esteem from getting an apprenticeship, starting his own business, training for what he really wants to do or even just getting a leg-up in his working life will outweigh the destroyed confidence he'll get from getting a lousy ATAR.
2b. Likewise, he doesn't have to go to uni straightaway. Maybe he's immature, like plenty of young people are. Maybe he doesn't know what he wants to do. Maybe he wants to make fat bank as a labourer and spend the next three years of his life with a BAC of at least 0.40. Men in my grandfather's generation didn't go to university straight away either. Plenty got jobs, houses and families and went to nightschool. It might be a model that's more sustainable for people of both genders.
3. If your son wants to do art or drama, why are you standing in his way? You know who studies those subjects? Girls - who he will learn to work productively with and make friends with. (He might even get to have sex with one, if any of the gossip that follows a musical is true!) If you're dead keen hoping that your son is straight, he could do worse than a subject where he gets to surround himself with friendly girls.
4. Stop making lame excuses for your son. We haven't suspended him because we have an anti-male agenda and we're just stopping "boys from being boys": we suspended him because he broke another kid's teeth out of his jaw. We can deal with everyday rambunctious behaviour, like drawing dicks on things or making delightful frescoes with 500mL of Oak iced coffee and a freshly hosed path. Racial vilification, serious assault, drugs and theft aren't "boys being boys".
5. Stop trying to convince your kid that he's going to play for Australia and therefore should dedicate all of his time and effort to sport - especially if the height of his achievement is to play for the seconds in a low-tier competition. I'm pretty sick of otherwise intelligent kids telling me that they'd rather get into a premiership cricket or rugby team than pass a senior subject. Nobody's going to care five years out that you made a 'fully sick' try; they are going to care if the building invoice you give them is barely understandable.
6. If you want boys to have more male role models in schools… er, why not train as a teacher? In my graduating year, a quarter of secondary school teaching degree holders were dudes. Not perfect but an improvement on the past. If that doesn't appeal, come to Saturday sport and cook the barbie or coach a team. It's fun and won't eat into your work week. (Also, I want to sleep in on a Saturday.)
7. Your kid only functions as poorly as you expect him to. I have twelve year old students who can't pack a school bag on their own, buy a sandwich at a tuckshop or tie their own shoelaces because their parents do everything for them. That's not normal, yo. And trust me, this sticks out when he has to go on school camp and notices that all the other boys know how to fold a sleeping bag or eat a piece of fruit that hasn't been cut up for him. Seriously. He won't die of heat exhaustion from hiking 3km, or of sleep deprivation because he doesn't have his favourite pillow on year 9 camp. Also, do not be that parent who picks their son up on the first day of camp. That's just weak.
Swampy says:
Weight anxiety is just one type of body dysmorphia, I'd say the number of young males abusing steroids and other performance/image enhancing drugs is at least equal to, possibly greater than, the number of females with eating disorders. A growing problem for both sexes.
Tim the Toolman says:
Aside from the cultural impacts of modern society, there is also the environmental ones to consider (these screw women up as well, but in different ways, no less severe, but in this case it's a post about men). In men, xenoestrogens can cause a congenital defect called hypospadias — a misplacement of the urethra — (which) is now twice as common among newborn boys as it used to be. Source: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/03/opinion/kristof-how-chemicals-change-us.html?_r=1&
Scary stuff. It's also a possible reason why men have lower testosterone that their forefathers. They're less manly at least in part, probably, because of the chemicals we're exposed to.
Tork says:
Why focus on raising a boy, or raising a girl. Why not raise a child and educate them on the world the best you can, no matter what gender they are. The only difference in the things between their legs..

Sorry, Jess .I read the headline and thought "well of course it is. Both sexes have their own issues to deal with," then decided this was another of the stirring gender wars crap articles which seem to be a 2013 agenda on the Punch and decided I'd read enough.
Cedric says:
If people tend to be lemmings following trendy parenting, then they're likely to go over the cliff with the rest. If they have practical commonsense, parenting is not that hard. Look to your parents or grandparents to get some perspective. Most of all, don't be a bloody trendy sook, or you will have sooky children, the outstanding noisemakers in supermarkets and other public venues.
Colin says:
"Boy-parents must work just as hard to ensure their young sons realise things other than abs and pecs define success, as girl-parents must to enforce the idea that enhancing your brains, not your boobs will give you the best chance of life success…"
Unfortunately, Wendy, the parents that have a 'Muscles - boys, boobs - girls' mentality are also the ones who want listen one jot to such advice; with such attitudes, they are obviously barely able to walk and chew gum simultaneously.
And - because of this - it is very difficult to try to inculcate more balanced gender attributes in children because peer-pressure dictates that the attitudes of the majority of the progeny of the knuckle-draggers who perpetuate such stereotypes will, themselves, force these same attitudes on their fellow students…Unless you can manage to have your children educated in a private school that upholds more enlightened views on gender-imprinting biases and shuns the offspring of the legions of the Great Unwashed.
Which in 'Straya, of course, is pretty damned difficult.
Jason says:
Boys are still disadvantaged by the school system so the primary focus should be evening this out. I will never forget my education and the feminist witches that I had to endure. It wasn't just Girls are better than boys, it was you Boys created the worlds problems. This was in multiple state schools.
The numbers of girls going on to tertiary education over boys just shows that the system is still failing boys but I do agree the system is not just to blame. It is parents, the media all painting these stupid gender stereotypes and focusing on one genders problems over the others.
Its not a simple fix because the education system is so engrained to make girls succeed. Something as simple as delaying when boys start their education so that they are more receptive to teaching is a tried and true method however.
Until Boys are doing as well as Girls in school, the system is broken. We wouldn't stand for this if the roles were reversed.
Robert Smissen of Rural SA says:
Ho kids react to stress will set them up to fail or win. Males both human & beasts when stressed will rush around making noise & movement to frighten off predators whereas females go into huddles & are quiet, hoping not to be noticed. Young kids do what is hard wired in them, girls sit quietly (teachers love this) whereas boys fidget, it is their hard wiring, teachers HATE this. How both genders are talked to is different, so how can you expect them to to have the same results
Bazza says:
Can someone PLEASE supply me with an example of, in today's society, where a man is paid more than a woman for performing the same role, for the same amount of hours on the virtue of their gender? Not a rhetorical question.
ByStealth says:
Thanks for writing a piece that highlights the difficulties boys have in our education system Wendy. I've seen a few articles on the Punch this year with a more egalitarian slant and it makes for a refreshing change.
Ruby says:
"A study released by the Australian government's Workplace Gender Equality Agency found the median gap in starting salaries for graduates increased from $2000 in 2011 to $5000 last year.
"The disparity was the largest in architecture and building occupations, at 17.3 per cent. The starting salary for male graduates was $52,000 compared with $43,000 for women.
"Female dentistry graduates earned 15.7 per cent or $14,000 less than men whose median starting salary was $92,000.
"The starting salary for female law graduates was $50,700 compared with $55,000 for men.
"The agency's research executive manager, Carla Harris, said there was no adequate explanation for the difference. ''There's absolutely no logical reason why a male graduate would be seen as better than a female graduate.''

Huskies have no trouble in Paradise
|Connecticut's forward Morgan Tuck, left center, looks to shoot over Marist's guard Elizabeth Beynnon during the second half of an NCAA women's college basketball game in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, Friday, Nov. 23, 2012. Connecticut won 81-39. (AP Photo/Thomas Layer)
ST. THOMAS, Virgin Islands (AP) — Freshman Breanna Stewart had 20 points and 10 rebounds to help the No. 2 UConn women's basketball team continue to roll through the Paradise Jam tournament with an 81-39 win over Marist on Friday night.
Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis added 15 points for UConn while Kelly Faris and Moriah Jefferson each had 10.
Marist (2-3) was led by Emma O'Connor who had a career-high 18 points, but fouled out with just over 4 minutes left in the game.
UConn blew the game open early, holding Marist without a field goal for more than 13 minutes while building a 42-14 halftime lead.
UConn (4-0), which routed Wake Forest 95-34 on Thursday, will close out the tournament today against No. 14 Purdue. The Boilermakers also are undefeated in the tournament and beat the Deacons, 67-53, earlier Friday.
UConn opened the game in a full-court press and hit four of its first six shots from 3-point range. They used a 9-0 run to jump out to an early 17-5 advantage.
It was 22-9 before the Huskies went on their decisive 18-0 run, sparked by back-to-back 3-pointers from Stewart.
But it was the defense that dominated. UConn forced 15 first-half turnovers, and Marist shot just 23 percent from the field for the half and just over 25 percent for the game.
The Red Foxes made a little run to open the second half, scoring the first five points. But they went on another scoring drought during a 9-0 run put UConn up 64-28 midway through the half.
The Huskies shot 50 percent from the field hit 13 of 29 shots from 3-point range. They outrebounded Marist 42-23.
Stewart made eight of her 12 shots. It was the first career double-double for the 6-foot-4 freshman, who is averaging 18 points a game.
See WOMEN, Page 6C
Junior guard Bria Hartley, who played in her first game of the season Thursday after missing the first two with an injured left ankle, played just 13 minutes and finished with a single point, but led the team with five assists.
The Huskies haven't lost a regular-season tournament game since being beaten by Vanderbilt in the 1992 Hilton Head Super Shooting, a streak of 48-consecutive games.
UConn improves to 316-4 in its last 320 games against unranked teams, and are now 4-0 all-time against Marist, a team they hadn't faced since 2005.
Marist will finish its tournament today against Wake Forest.
